Internews offers a remote job opportunity to work as a signpost content specialist. You will work with communities and bring journalist rigor, social media savvy, and knowledge of content optimization to information products created to empower displaced and crisis-affected populations to make informed decisions and meet their basic needs. You will work with signpost implementing teams at the country level to support the demands of content (articles, blogs, multimedia), ensuring that content meets editorial standards. Signpost believes that, through responsive information services, people in crisis are empowered to make informed critical decisions on the issues that matter most to them. Signpost is a suite of software components that the company use to create user-friendly content and two-way communication via the platforms that the clients already use, at scale, in the languages they speak. Signpost is a team of skilled frontline responders and support personnel who use journalistic and humanitarian expertise to ensure the right information is delivered in the best form. This role will be based remotely, and candidates based in any time zone will be considered. No travel will be required of this role. However, the ability to coordinate with colleagues in multiple time zones is a must, and the ideal candidate will be willing to work flexible hours when needed.

  • Experience in developing and implementing social media strategies for diverse audiences.
  • Experience in analyzing data and audience behavior to inform content creation.

  • Regularly reviewing content, coaching staff with diverse backgrounds in adherence to editorial principles and social media best practices.
  • Advising and making recommendations on country-level processes, including publication calendars, country-level approval processes, triangulation and fact-checking, and processes related to promoting and boosting social media posts.
